From CIS
The College has now migrated to a new Student Email system: Microsoft Windows Live. The old student email system will be brought completely off line January 27th. The new Live account is to be the official means of electronic communication with all students. Blackboard, SIMS and other centralized systems will utilize the new email addresses.

Students must activate their new account before use. Information on how to do this has been disseminated and continues to be disseminated to students through our Student Computing Helpdesk. In general, a student’s new email address will be their firstname.lastname@mail.citytech.cuny.edu. However, students can obtain their actual email address by going to the following link: http://mail.citytech.cuny.edu/

From July 15, 2008, all Blackboard users will no longer be able to access Blackboard through the backdoor, which uses Last Name, SSN, and Date of Birth. Users must logon directly to the CUNY portal to access Blackboard. Also, students will now need to access eSIMS directly through the CUNY portal, NOT through http://esims.cuny.edu.
